Fort Nisqually, Pioneer Days
August, 2014
At Fort Nisqually, we watched a puppet show and it was about a man puppet which had a hat on him and a girl puppet which had a cap on her head. And there was a baby. The boy held the baby and he dropped the baby. And he got hit by a stick lots of times.
We were watching a man tell us a story about Native Americans and what they did with animal skin and how they got it.
When we came in the gate, we saw a man and he was cutting wheat. He showed us how to and he told us what the tools were for. And he even let us try!
Inside a building in Fort Nisqually, there was a building that had clothes to try on and you could color, too.
We found out how people in the old days cooked. One kind of thing they baked was chicken wrapped in bacon. They made some there. And some customers ate some of it.
First, take out milk. Then you get cinnamon. Then vanilla. Then you get eggs. Then you get a big bowl maybe you will want to get a small bowl for the eggs to make sure that there is no egg shells.
Then you will get the milk, pour a little bit or more than a little bit of milk in the bowl. Then you pour in the eggs. Then put in the vanilla. Then you put in the cinnamon. Then you get out a fork and then you stir with the fork. Then you get out some bread. Cut it up or not if it is already cut. Then put one slice of bread in the mixture that you made. You move it around a little then flip it over and move it around again. Then you put that slice of bread on a hot griddle. And you keep on doing that until that’s all the French toast you want.
Then when one side of the French toast is done, turn it over. And when that other side is done, you put it on a plate. You keep on doing that until all the French toast is done. Then, get out everything that you want on your French toast. Then it is all done!
There was lots of toys and activities. First, we went to a building structure place. We added on to a structure. Then, we returned the toolbox to where we got it from.
A few times, I climbed over one of the toys, which was fun!
At Remlinger Farms, we went on a train ride and we went under a tunnel.
At the same farm, there was a pumpkin ride. All three of us went in one pumpkin!
There also was a small pony ride which was fun.
Also there was a canoe ride on a relaxing river. But there was only one rule—keep your hands in the canoe.
Also, there was a roller coaster ride which was very fun and fast and bumpy and you could see lots of things.
There is also picture cut-outs. There was a really cool bunny one.
There was also a pony ride which was a person controlling the pony with a person on top. I think he is a boy or a girl and I think its name is Apple.
There also was an airplane ride who could go up and down. I was on it, too. It was fun.
